I am comfortable working with young people...

Correct

Incorrect

...who are at least adults, right?

Correct

Incorrect

Young people, babies, kiddos, old people, bring it on! I LOVE people!

Correct

Incorrect

In a limited context... I really need my peace and quiet to be the most effective I can be.

Correct

Incorrect

all the time! The louder the better, bring on the energy! I love the vitality and sense of potential that working with youth offers!

Correct

Incorrect

In a context in which I am able to guide them in the right direction and celebrate with them when they begin to make strong decisions all on their own.

Correct

Incorrect

in just about any context. I am flexible, engaging, and great at making everyone feel comfortable- I am cool as a cucumber, even in crisis situations- it's one of my strongest skills!

Correct

Incorrect

In the most natural context possible. If I can see their world from their perspective, I know I'll be able to make a great positive impact that is lasting- whether they're at home, at school, or out winning this game called life!

6.
If I had to choose an ideal work environment...

Correct

Incorrect

Always loud and bustling with energy

Correct

Incorrect

Please keep the noise down- I really need to focus

Correct

Incorrect

Loud moments, quiet moments... ups and downs throughout the day help me to energize and relax and be my best self

Correct

Incorrect

A dull roar- not too loud, not too quiet.

Correct

Incorrect

Just some buzz throughout the day. Quiet, but not uncomfortably quiet

Correct

Incorrect

I am comfy cozy in any environment, even if it's unpredictable. Maybe it's the many siblings I grew up around, or those crazies I call my best friends, but noise isn't even a factor for me.

Correct

Incorrect

THE LOUDER THE BETTER..... WHAT????

Correct

Incorrect

I mean, boys will be boys... and they will make ALL.THE.NOISE.

7.
....and my favorite community to live in would be....

Correct

Incorrect

Suburban- just outside of the hustle and bustle of the city

Correct

Incorrect

Right smack dab next to my best friend's house! I can thrive in any community next to my BFF!

Correct

Incorrect

Somewhere I can have a very grand and rolling home in a neighborhood I can access just about everything and anything by foot...

Correct

Incorrect

It needs to be accessible- can I reach my main place of work? Catch a bus or train? Those are requisites, not luxuries!

Correct

Incorrect

I don't mind being a little ways out- sometimes, the journey is part of the adventure!

Correct

Incorrect

I'm okay being in a neighborhood that is in transition. I see so much positive change every day- it's a beautiful thing!

Correct

Incorrect

As long as there is wifi, I think I can make it work. Just don't leave me in the middle of nowhere..

Correct

Incorrect

I can make my work as mobile as I am- having one, assigned neighborhood seems SO BORING to me!!!

Correct

Incorrect

I like to be in the field. In this line of work, that might be a school, home, or an outside facility, but I think I'd prefer to meet my clients right where they're at, right when they're there.
